And I'm sure someone will come along and offer to use a "special" thermometer on you.

Do you mean you feel warmer than usual to the touch, but are actually feeling as though you are cold?

dehydration causes a fever, so drink plenty of fluids. (good advice under most circumstances.)

a lot of times when I have a fever, especially low-grade, I feel 'clammy' and not hot or cold, just very uncomfortable.

However, I am in no way an expert. Should the fever linger, other symptoms pop up, or you get worried, go, see a doctor.

However....sex with a person with a fever is hot, LOL. The slight temp difference is quite noticable.

Like others, drink extra amounts of clear liquids.

Well wishes.

I read something yesterday urging people to go to the doctor when the fever hits.  They have some excellent meds to shorten the flu, but you have to take them early on.

Nothing to really help it beyond that.

Status: offline 		Nah...fevers gone for me.  It lasted for about four days for my older one.  I took her to the doctor today to make sure it wasn't strep.  They did a culture, but said her throat looked fine and didn't expect the results to show strep.  He said there's a bunch of viruses running through the area where the only symptom is a low grade fever. 

I never get flu shots.  The one time I did I got the flu the worst that I've ever gotten in my life.

Yes, we've had this virus in the household for 2 weeks, it's affected my 3 children, hubby and myself. the main symptom is a high fever. we've also had some stuffy heads and my lungs are involved because i have asthma. one of our 5 year old twins is about through with it, the other twin is in the middle of the high fever cycle. Remember, you can overlap  motrin with acetometiphine and we have had to do that with the twins to keep them around 102 degrees. their bigger sister dad and I arent quite as hot as the twins. Motrin seems sufficient to control the fever. I hear a bunch of children at my daughters school are out, all with high fevers. it's a nasty virus.
